Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra costs $2500 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 holds 167% more energy (4096Wh vs 1536Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 has 4400W more surge headroom (8000W vs 3600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra is 86.5 lb lighter (26.5 lb vs 113 lb).
EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3
The most complete large unit here. 4096Wh, 4000W, 8000W surge and 2600W of solar — it does everything the F3800 does with less weight.
Best for: Whole-home backup buyers who want maximum solar recharge speed.
Where it falls short:
- $3,699 is a serious investment
- Overkill unless you're backing up a whole home
Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra
The portability record-holder: 1536Wh at 26.5 lb, lighter than most 1kWh units. You pay $200 over the 1500 v2 for that weight saving.
Best for: Van lifers and overlanders where every pound is negotiated.
Where it falls short:
- 1800W output is lower than the cheaper 1500 v2's 2000W
- $1199 is a premium for weight alone
